Looks like the inside of that rock would make some great paint pigment if ground up and admixed appropriately.
Also, with regard to your 3-inch spider of yesterday. Last evening, I passed the master bathroom and noticed one of our cats staring in the corner. "Peculiar," I thought. When I went to investigate, I found that the cat had cornered a 3-inch wolf spider. I quickly got a plastic container and rescued the beast, placing it outside the front door--and ruining the cat's playtime!
A 3-inch spider sounds pretty intimidating!
Packrat, I like the photo of the prickly pear pad. It reminds me how large that cactus can get.
